Front tires are 265/35 RE-11's. Rears are 285/35. The rears need a little camber added since the tires are so tall and fat on a 10. So around 2 degrees is perfect. Stock camber on the front until my plates and SLP arms come in. This car has a lot more room in the front than people think. If it weren't for strut clearance I would had went 10 square but I didn't have camber plates yet.

Amazed that you got the fronts to fit without rubbing. I tried 265/35 RE71Rs with a 27.5 offset (35 wheels with 7.5 mm spacer) and they rub the fender liner in front when turned about half lock. 255/35 are fine.

The front would barely rub on my winter setup so I took a heat gun and molded a tiny section back. Worked like a charm!

Awesome. I was thinking about doing that but wasn't sure if it would work. Can you post a pic of the section you modified with the heat gun.

iPhone Pshop of an inch lower up front vs my H&r's. Anybody have the Ohlins Road and Track setup yet?

Installed the blendmount and mirror tap. The blendmount is very well made; however, none of the mirror tap prongs fit tightly into the adapter. The mirror tap consistently failed to register any voltage on the volt meter. After a frustrating hour, ended up stripping the brown/green 12 volt wire going to the mirror and cutting the mirror tap prong in half to expose the wire. Finally soldered the wire to the exposed 12 volt wire and everything works perfectly with consistent power. Looks great, but still not sure if it was worth all of the trouble.

Interesting, the mirror tap went in perfectly fine for me. I never recommend cutting/soldering anything.

The mirror tap went in without a problem, but all of the prongs even the one recommended in the DIY were way too loose. And even with the thickest prong wedged into the adapter I could only get a solid reading one time. It was definitely frustrating that a project that should have taken 30 minutes ended up wasting most of my night, but works great now so I guess it was worth it.

Ian ///M · 05-19-2017, 10:47 AM

Picked up a cool looking scratch behind my stock PPF from throwing a rock back at rocket speeds lol . It actually broke skin on the PPF too as it went along

It disappears when cleaned and waxed . A cool natural battle scar

M///Fanatic · 05-19-2017, 04:01 PM

Picked her up in Munich at the Welt!

Zoominrex · 05-19-2017, 04:41 PM

Finally got my Suntek Ultra PPF and Suntek CXP tint on. Let the fun begin!!! That is until I get thru my break-in period.

also put on my IND reflector deletes.

Great choice on the PPF!

TT1351 · 05-20-2017, 06:58 PM

Pulled the trigger on a PE 6 speed, I don't have it yet but ordered Euro tailights and Euro sun visors, (no warning labels). Most likely going with a JB4. Looking to source some Euro aspeheric rear view mirrors, found a cheap source for a BMW Performance carbon fiber rear diffuser. Also would like to find a decent set of cf mirror caps to emulate the M4 look. Will lower it via the coilovers it comes with, and add a Euro light switch then have the car coded to make the rear fogs work. That's it for now.

Pyrat 2 · 05-20-2017, 09:23 PM

My first track day of the year. Three other M2s there. Sorry but no group picture. Went with my wife in her 99M3 and my son in his 06 e90 330i. A true family event. Tomorrow is cleanup day. Wash the cars and clean the wheels. Put the street pads back on the M2.

Fitted a Wagner intercooler along with fabspeed downpipe and MPE

How was the Wagner intercooler install? I've been thinking of picking one up, but not sure if it's a DIY I want to undertake.

MP mats and door sills

I got the door sills a while back too. Such a simple mod (and relatively cheap) but gives a very nice feel to the car once its a bit dark outside. Love it.
